need help switching from a 5.0 to a 5.7

I know that I have to change the computer and the knock sensor but is there anything else that I have to change.

I bought 24lb injectors

Just the chip, knock sensor (I don't use them on maf cars) and injs. 22lb is stock.
24s are ok, just make sure u swap it in the tune.

I am comparing the two at autozone.com and it looks like the egr valve is different and the electronic spark control module is different

do I have to change these or will it be ok

Re: need help switching from a 5.0 to a 5.7

i just changed my car from 5.0 to 5.7, and learned the hard way that this stuff needed to be changed as i was told by the mechanic that is was all ok to still use in the 350, what im changing now is the chip, injectors, knock sensor and the ESCM (the egr valve as far as i know can be used for both)
